Summary

The X-men are enjoying themselves on board of a cruise ship, except for Amara. She's feeling seasick, and Ororo notices it. She proposes to go to the doctor, but Amara declines. Tabitha turns up and takes Amara with her.

Three decks lower, Scott and Jean are talking to each other. They're talking about being away from Bayville, but they heard  giggling and laughing and saw that they were being watched by Kurt and Kitty. As Scott and Jean try to find a calm spot, they notice some weird icebergs floating by. Icebergs in the Caribbean, this can only be Bobby!

And indeed, Bobby's at the bow and trying to impress Tabitha and Amara. It's working for Tabitha, but Amara's absent-minded, because she's feeling miserable. Tabitha encourages Bobby to do something huge, and Bobby 'does' a 'Titanic' Tabitha yells at Amara to use her powers as the ship is going to knock into the ice, but Amara fails to 'fire up'. Scott blasts the ice berg to pieces. Scott gets very angry with Bobby and Scott walks away, Jean cautions Bobby.

Next morning, as Tabitha's brushing her hair, she notices Amara's still very sick. She asks what's the matter with her, and Amara reacts she thinks it's got something to do with her 'gift', as she tends to feel not too well if she's not in contact with the ground. Tabitha leaves the room for breakfast, but on her way to the dining room, she runs into Ororo. Tabitha tells her Amara's not feeling well. Ororo decides to go and see Amara, but first she warns Tabitha not to do stupid things. Tabitha says she won't.

The lady is complaining about the uncooked food which made Tabitha angry and decides to 'cherry-bomb' her, but this results in an unlucky chain of events, which results in a fire. As most of the passengers begin to panic, Jean uses her TK to lift the aquarium and pour water over the fire, but this reveals her as a mutant to the passengers.

Tabitha can't stand the atmosphere, and decides to join Amara. Bobby takes some revenge by 'chilling' the pool, forcing the swimmers out of the pool. Meanwhile, Scott and Jean are getting some 'cold' reactions too. As the announcement is made, Tabitha enters the cabin and finds a really weakened Amara. She tells Tabitha she has to go to shore, or she won't survive. Tabitha realizes Amara's not kidding. Meanwhile, after having received another cold reaction, Jean decides on leaving the boat and taking Scott with her on a trip to the island. As they fly away, Kurt and Kitty decide to follow them and port to the island. Back in the cabin, Amara's condition's really deteriorating, and Tabitha decides to take Amara to the island.  Bobby turns up rowed them  toward the island in an ice-canoe.

Scott and Jean are sightseeing in the picturesque town of Sol Selas. They're enjoying the calm - that is, until some shouts disturb the peace. Jean and Scott are surprised - and somewhat disappointed - to see Amara, Bobby and Tabitha  They explain they're there to help Amara, as she was really sick, and that they've planned to go to a hot water spring. Scott turns down the offer to join them, but then he notices Kurt and Kitty are there, too. They agree to join the others, while Scott and Jean remain in the town. Scott cautions them not to do anything stupid. Tabitha says they won't.

Somewhat later, the gang's at the spring. Amara dives into the deeper part of the spring. There she notices a fissure in the bottom. As she warms herself at this fissure, she fires herself up. Moments later, the fissure begins to rumble. Back at the surface, the water's beginning to get too hot. The kids flee the spring, and then they notice Amara's still in the water. As the water begins to boil, Amara re-appears at the surface. She tells the others they'll have to leave the spring. Bobby forms a slide, and the kids slide down the slope.

Meanwhile, the town is hit by tremors, which cause a lot of damage. Scott and Jean stop it with their powers. The kids are surrounded by amazed people. As Scott wants to explain they didn't want to cause trouble, the crowd begins to cheer them. For the first time, the kids are treated as real heroes. So the kids are enjoying themselves at the island, or entertaining the islanders with their gifts, or giving autographs, or posing for photographs. Meanwhile, on board of the cruise liner, Ororo and Jamie are looking for the kids. As they can't find them, Ororo begins to get mad.

At the end of the day, the kids are invited to a party. Most of the kids are enjoying the attention and the food.  Suddenly, the volcano begins to rumble, but moments later, it dies down again. Scott notices Amara's kind of downbeat, and she explains she feels it's her fault the volcano's become active.

Fires begin to break out in the town, as rocks and ash are thrown upon the town. People run away and seek shelter. The kids try to stop the lava flows. While the other kids have little or no success, Amara discovers she is the only one who can stop the eruption. Promptly, she begins to walk to the crater. Tabitha sees this, but can't stop Amara. But then, Tabitha comes, yelling Amara's gone to the crater. Storm decides to get to her.

As Amara reaches the crater, she fires up and begins to control the lava. Just about that moment, Storm arrives at the crater, and yells at Amara it's too dangerous there. Amara hesitates, but only moments later, disaster strikes: another explosion causes the edge to collapse, and Amara falls into the boiling lava. Storm can do nothing, and fears Amara's been killed. But Amara's not dead: she swims through the lava, and starts shutting down the volcano. Immediately, the volcano dies down, and the lava begins to harden. The other kids arrive at the crater, and are confused to find Storm alone. She explains Amara's fallen into the crater.

Suddenly, a flare erupts in the volcano, and on top of the flare is Amara. She rides the flare up to the other kids, and then joins them. The other kids react amazed. Storm asks how she did it. Amara can't quite explain it. Back at the town, the cheering islanders greet the kids. Storm's amazed by the reception. However, she's still not too happy about the kids having left the boat, though she understands why they did it. As she leaves, the kids realize they'll have to return to the boat. It isn't exactly something they're looking forward to, but it'll have to happen.
